Study the Chip Tool Interactions & Tool Life in Plain Turining with High Velocity Air Jet as the Cooling Medium

Introduction of green concepts in machining operations is being envisaged by introducing different echo friendly cooling systems in the modern machine shops. The role of cutting fluids usage in metal cutting is predominant as it influences the surface quality and production cost. The current work mainly focuses on the study of chip tool interactions viz. contact pressure, temperature and chip flow pattern on the rake surface in plain turning operation for different cutting parameters without any cooling medium and analyze the influence of high pressure air jet as the cooling medium on the chip tool interactions like contact pressure reducing the tool wear, cutting temperatures thereby increasing tool life.
